Q: What does "prepared for hanging" mean?
A: Think of how you might want a piece to ready to hang in your house. It might be in a plain hoop with the fabric edges gathered in the back, maybe the hoop is painted, perhaps even a backing. Just so long as the embroidery is "finished".

Q: Can I use cross-stitch, machine embroidery, applique or other embellishments?
A: This is hand embroidery swap, but you can add in other techniques in addition to your hand embroidery.

Q: Can I use transfers and patterns?
A: Yes!

Q: Will my information be kept private?
A: Yes. The only person I will share your name/address with is the person who is mailing to you.

I'm keeping it a surprise for the person I'm stitching for. I think that if you're going to be sharing photos of your work before you mail it, it's more fun to not tell who you're sending to. But really, it's up to you!

I just received my swap today and it is so perfect for me, I can't believe it! Poppy did an amazing job. Her embroidery is incredible. I've been so excited all day. Thank you, Mollie, for organizing this swap. I can only hope that my partner will love the piece i am doing for her as much as I love mine!!
